libparted1.4

The GNU Parted disk partitioning library, shared libraries.

GNU Parted is a program that allows you to create, destroy,
resize, move and copy hard disk partitions. This is useful
for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising
disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

This package contains libparted, the required shared library
used by Parted.

Parted currently supports DOS, Mac, Sun, BSD, GPT and PC98
disklabels/partition tables, as well as a 'loop' (raw disk)
type which allows use on RAID/LVM. Filesystems supported are
ext2, ext3, fat (FAT16 and FAT32) and linux-swap. Parted can
also detect HFS (Mac OS), JFS, NTFS, ReiserFS, UFS and XFS
filesystems, but cannot create/remove/resize/check these
filesystems yet.

Please note that libparted1.4 packages are actually
newer than the libparted2 packages. I have re-numbered the
packages because of problems with new, incompatible versions
of libparted being released, and also to create more
consistency of version numbers across the package. See
README.Debian for more details.

The nature of this software means that any bugs could cause
massive data loss. While there are no known bugs at the moment,
they could exist, so please back up all important files before
running it, and do so at your own risk.
